Can't find an FM2 retention clip

[Stoneburner]

A week ago, I bought this motherboard:

The hook on the left side broke

Now I can't find a replacement clip. I tried using an am2+ bracket, but it hits the caps on one side.

Any ideas? THanks in advance.

Email MSI. They'll probably send you one for free.

I waited so long for my trinity HTPC, and now this

Thanks for the advice.

Hrm, I thought they were all the same.

At the risk of sounding pretty ghetto - can you file / dremel off the plastic where it's hitting?

(I may not be picturing the problem correctly, apologies in advance if that totally won't work)

EDIT: IT WORKS!
